@gwilkie80 @DB_DevilDog @sportsiren Not to mention Tech used a rule that allowed them to swap pitchers multiple times and the ESPN announcers were talking about a rule change being needed.

I'm such a @sportsiren Holly Rowe fan but I agree with Chris on this.
In football Texas Tech spends less on their roster than Texas and several SEC teams yet all anyone talks about is TT "buying players". Now I'm seeing the same double-standard in softball when anyone affiliated with the sport should be thrilled that a major university is investing so heavily in their program -- especially in today's 'football-only' culture.
Texas Tech should be applauded instead of having people throwing shade their way simply because they are going all in and winning.
For years in football the bluebloods of the sport used bagmen to help build their rosters under the table. Now that comping players and NIL are legal the bluebloods of the sport can't stand having to play by the same rules as everyone else.
Softball clearly has a little bit of that same blueblood arrogance, and the @GatorsSB softball team should be embarrassed for the "sore loser" mentality they displayed after the game today. No one faults these young ladies for being disappointed, but refusing to shake hands only reflects poorly on the University of Florida.
Furthermore, @bethmowins ought to be relegated to high school sports for sharing in this arrogance during the broadcast.
I'm a Michigan State alum, and like Texas Tech we've historically been chasing the bluebloods in our conference and nationally. The more success I see from Texas Tech the more I hope MSU's distinguished alumni are watching and learning from them so maybe we can join them as one of the "new bloods".
In the meantime, here's a message for Beth Mowins and/or anyone else covering Tx Tech's games going forward: if you're not going to discuss how much Texas, Florida, or Ohio State are paying for their rosters then kindly STFU about how much Texas Tech is spending.
Congrats to @TexasTechSB and good luck in the @WCWSsoftball !

Well Chris 15 of 23 on one roster is higher than normal. It is context. Also Game 60 doesn’t matter. You can’t assume viewers have watched before. TV 101

@CRH1LL @gwilkie80 @sportsiren So they are doing hat the "bluebloods" have been doing for decades and novv it is wrong. vhat the former LSU head coach, novv assistant coach, said in the old days ve paid them out the back door and no ve can pay them as they enter the front door.
English

@gwilkie80 @sportsiren To put it simply, It’s feels exploitative. It’s why people hate the Yankees/Dodgers. It’s not against the rules, just a really dishonest way to manipulate the system. TxTech specifically because they were never on that championship level before. Now, they bought their way there.
English

@gwilkie80 @Goldxbox6 @sportsiren No, the common thought process from the sec and big1 is their lowest team is greater than any other conferences best teams. They don't think their feces stinks.
English

@Goldxbox6 @sportsiren I’m a Big Ten alum so I might be biased but I disagree partly. If it were Minnesota or MSU it would be the same messaging, but not if it were UM or OSU. There is a double standard, but I think it’s based on the brand name, not the conference.

@Tb12goat1991 @ncaasoftballstf That as a bad take, but it is from a devil worshipper. By the vay vere yall using your 2nd and 3rd stringers against ASU?
English

@Brett_McMurphy @AnwarRichardson But won't schedule them. That tells you everything you need to know.
English

Shots fired at Texas Tech? Texas' Steve Sarkisian via @AnwarRichardson: "There's a team in our state in another conference w/a schedule that I would argue if I played w/our 2's & 3's we could go undefeated & they’ll probably make the CFP this year” 💀

@RepJeffries We all are! Here you go again making statements that you cannot prove. Vhat are you going to do if it as one of their own? Rush to judgement as usual. I don't remember you posting something like this when a synagogue is attacked.
English

@gatorsteve @NCAASoftball @espn @ScottStricklin It is due to you playing Texas Tech. Being punished for having to play a Big 12 school. Not sec enough for espn.
English

@NCAASoftball Absolutely asinine to schedule games in Gainesville in the middle of the day. You people are just money grubbing imbeciles. @espn, is truly the culprit. @ScottStricklin just sits on his hands as usual. He does NOTHING for the fans except put his hand out for more cash.
English

The Supers schedule! 🎉

@NCAASoftball Sorry Florida, but you don't get prime time due to Playing Texas Tech. Not enough sec to be in prime time.

@Imwithherb @MarkMeadows Not much difference between Islam and the Democratic party. Both ill lie to get their way.
English

@WreckEmSarge @MarkMeadows 1) Democratic lies? YOU are free to do the research on which party gerrymanders more...but notice you didn't? 2) Dem lies? Again, Republicans lie more than Democrats...and honestly, should Trump supporters and FOX viewers seriously be clutching pearls over lying????
English

@Imwithherb @MarkMeadows Can you prove it asn't stolen? Yes illegal immigrants have voted in our elections, but orse is the votes casted by dead people and people who are not the person they say they are. You live in a left ving world here anything else is a lie.
English

@WreckEmSarge @MarkMeadows Lemme guess: You think 2020 was stolen, Haitians were eating pets, illegal immigrants vote in our elections, and there was no interaction between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016.
English

@Imwithherb @MarkMeadows I guess you just ignore vhat California, Illinois and every state in the NE had already done.
English

@WreckEmSarge @MarkMeadows Your confusion is the usual, "It's okay when Trump and Republicans do the same thing, or worse" right-wing hubris thing.
English

@RonK3l @RepJeffries Ble up diplomacy? Ho to you talk vith a group that wants to destroy your country?
English

@RepJeffries Trump’s reckless Iran strikes were a disastrous war of choice. He blew up diplomacy, closed the Strait, spiked gas prices, and wasted billions — all for chaos. Pure incompetence hurting American families. Time to hold him accountable. Impeach him now
English

@RepJeffries Hov do people as derisive and dumb as you get elected. Hov do people who push for a King i.e... the democratic party, able to sov hate and get away vith it. You and the rest of the dems' rhetoric ill lead to violence. At some point those who you are attacking vill respond.
English

@eric4ok @MarkMeadows Fair? You mean disenfranchising millions of voters in the rest of the state. No counties hundreds of miles away from the big cities ill be represented by someone living next to D.C.. That seems fair.
English

@MarkMeadows Why would you vote NO for fair elections? It makes no sense.
English

@Imwithherb @MarkMeadows Typical democrat lies, it is hat Dems do.
English

@MizzouSaildier @MarkMeadows Go back and check out ho California and Illinois and Nev Yuck did this decades ago.
English

@MarkMeadows Why it's the same shit you fuckers pulled in Texas and Missouri. What you dont like it when it goes against you? You fucking made the bed, now you fucking lie in it bitch boy.
English

@irish_tee @MarkMeadows No Illinois, California and other communist states had done this years before Texas did it. But you are ok ith that I guess. I am fighting for our Republic and not your communist democracy.
English

@MarkMeadows Hell no, we're voting yes, just like Texas did!
Texas started this fiasco and VIRGINIA is going to one-up you for DEMOCRACY
People see what's happening Meadows
Why aren't you behind bars?
English

@Imwithherb @MarkMeadows Illinois, California, NY, and other dumb states started this LONG before hat Texas did. But you are ok vith those communist states doing it.
